To draw a single point in Matplotlib, use the plt.scatter(~) function like so:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3])plt.scatter([2], [3], color="red") # plotting single pointplt.show()
The output is as follows:
Drawing dots on the foreground
By default, the points that you plot via scatter(~) appear in the background:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3])plt.scatter([2], [2], color="red") # plotting single pointplt.show()
To make the points appear in the foreground, set a positive zorder value:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3])plt.scatter([2], [2], color="red", zorder=5) # plotting single pointplt.show()
